What I do
Deep expertise, end to end
One person across the whole job. The same head on the audit, the build, the integration and the call about what to do next.
Software and ecommerce builds
I build the whole thing, end to end.
Ecommerce on Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, headless and custom, plus SaaS platforms, modules and the core infrastructure underneath. PHP, Python and multiple frameworks.
Technical audits
I tell you the truth about what you have.
Performance, checkout, integrations and code quality, plus conversion, UX, SEO, AI and GEO. You get a clear, prioritised plan you can act on.
AI and automation
I put AI to work on the boring stuff.
AI systems and workflows that take the menial, everyday tasks off your team, so their time goes back to the work that moves the business.
Fractional / interim CTO
I help you decide what to build and why.
Part-time senior technical leadership: direction, architecture, roadmaps and rescuing projects that have drifted. Bring me in as your interim CTO or systems architect, without a full-time hire.
Mentorship and AI upskilling
I bring your team up a level.
Junior engineer mentorships, hands-on teaching, and AI upskilling sessions that get your people confident and productive with modern tools and AI.
Platforms and frameworks
The tools change with the job. These are the ones I reach for most.
What I fix
The problems I get called in for
Real jobs, in plain words. If one of these sounds like your project, it is worth a call.
A project that has drifted for years
A build has run for two years with no end in sight. I step in, set a clear goal and get it shipped.
Adding a new payment gateway
You need a new payment provider live in your platform. I build the integration, and can introduce you to the right gateway partners.
Email marketing integration
Connect your Laravel, Django or ecommerce system to Klaviyo, Mailchimp or your ESP, so campaigns run on real, live data.
PIM, ERP and system integrations
Your platform needs to talk to a PIM, ERP or other system. I build the integration so data flows cleanly both ways.
Fraud hiding in your orders
I analyse your order history to find fraud patterns and loopholes, then close the gaps they slip through.
Slow site, failing Core Web Vitals
Your site loads slowly and fails Google's Core Web Vitals. I make it fast, so you keep your rankings and your sales.
Conversion and UX that underperform
Traffic comes but does not convert. I audit conversion and UX, then fix what is quietly costing you orders.
Invisible to search and AI
I run SEO, AI and GEO audits so your site gets found by Google and by the AI tools people now buy through.
Releases that keep breaking the site
Every update takes something down. I add real testing and safe deploys, so changes stop breaking things.
Menial tasks eating the day
The repetitive admin pulling your team off real work, handed to AI workflows that just get it done.
No senior tech lead
You need CTO-level direction but cannot justify a full-time hire. I lead your tech part-time and set the roadmap.
An idea with nowhere to start
You have a platform or SaaS idea and no way in. I design and build the whole thing, from first line to launch.
Tools I build in the open
keel
An open-source dev environment builder for any stack. One command scaffolds a full, working local setup: framework, services, tests and deploy config, all wired together and ready to run.
I build my tools in public, because the work should speak for itself. keel is free, MIT licensed and on GitHub.
$ keel new my-shop scaffolding stack... [ok] framework, services, tests [ok] deploy config written ready in 40s $ docker compose up
